perhaps the perfect Mini LST wheels

So on my quest to get the most out of my truck i've been experimenting with different tires and wheels I started with stock and moved to HPI Rallys, and finally have settled on these



They are MRC 1/10 scale buggie rims and tires.

They are phenominal.

They handle much better than the stock tires ( not as good as the hpi rally's though, but its a happy medium)

They jump better than stock ( which jumps really well).

and i believe they will withstand punishment much better than the stockers.

oh and last be not least they look alot closer to scale.

more to come once i put the AON in.

That looks killahz man!!!

Nice setup!

I've been telling big-kid about the buggy tires as he has a set of Super Nitro rims with buggy tires on it already! Just waiting to get in the wheel adapters!

Which wheel adapters are you using?

I like the look of white dish rims and racing treads on the MLST!

Gives it a racier look to it! And it does look more scale!

I know now that I will be getting a similar setup for my MLST!!!

Hey nice going QuietFly

Are those the rear buggy rim's that you used for the front and back?

I think the harder part for us Xtant, is trying to find those narrower buggy rims locally. I don't recall to many (if any) LHS that stock or sell MRC parts or kits . I'm assuming they have the 12mm hex in the rim?

at the time the picture was taken i was using the trinity adapters, but i have since swicthed over to CAW mini inferno adapters as they give you lots more thread and solid axles.

I'm using the thin buggy tires up front and the wide ones on the back.
The setup is really really nice.

MRC has standard 1/10 hexs (12mm) i think.

Thanks for the info quietfly!!!

I thought those were the trinity wheel adapters, but had heard they did'nt fit well.

I guess the buggy rims are a little thinner around the hex than MT wheels? As I am using Hot Racing Half8 wheel adapters and with my MT wheels the stock wheel nut only goes on about 3/4 of the way.

I'll have to go see if any of the lhs' can get in these wheels/tires?

If not at least I know a place to order them from now! As I could'nt find them on any online hobby shops!

iguess the sb sport wheels can be used for something.... the truck looks awesome,, i like the look,, have you raced it yet..

what are the pros?
" " " cons?

how much larger than stock are these wheels,, and does it put a strain on the motor...


there is this kid at my local track that has this car,, and he seems to be having a problem with the ball cups ,, they keep coming off.. do you have this problem??
